Job description

Overview

The Neighbourhood Vet is a lovely 20 vet practice in SE London that was set up by two Australian vets almost 10 years ago.

Our main hospital is situated in the heart of East Dulwich on popular Lordship Lane and our two branch clinics are located in Crofton Park and Penge where we are a strong part of the local community.

We are still growing, and are very busy so are looking to recruit another Nurse. We would prefer full-time hours but may consider part-time hours.

Although there are now quite a lot of us (72!), we have a close, caring and fun team. We pride ourselves on being kind, compassionate and doing the right thing for our staff, clients and their pets. And we like having a laugh and try to make every day at work a good one.

Working hours/rota

This role involves working 4 days a week (Monday to Friday), averaging 9.5 hours per day. It includes a 1 in 4 full weekend rota (Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 AM-7:00 PM), with a day off in lieu-usually the following Monday-after working a Sunday. There is also a 1 in 8 shorter weekend rota, covering Saturday only from 8:30 AM-3:00 PM. There is no OOH or working during Bank Holidays.
